Seventy Weeks and the Messiah

24 “Seventy (a)(A)weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to (b)finish the transgression, to (c)make an end of sin, to (B)make atonement for iniquity, to bring in (C)everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and (d)prophecy and to anoint the most holy place. 25 So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a (e)(D)decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until (f)(E)Messiah the (F)Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with (g)plaza and moat, even in times of distress. 26 Then after the sixty-two weeks the (h)Messiah will be (G)cut off and have (i)nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will (H)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And (j)its end will come with a (I)flood; even to the end (k)there will be war; desolations are determined.
